Gurkha Centurian Double Perfecto

Most of us will never own the same car as one of the world's weathiest people, and we probably won't stay at the same hotels or have a fleet of private jets, but here's something you can have in common - the Gurkha Centurian Double Perfecto.

The Gurkha Centurian was created by Kaizad Hansotia specifically for the Sultan of Brunei. Now, when you have his kind of money, you could smoke any cigar you want, whenever you want, so you know that this is something special. This 6 x 60 double perfecto out-Cubans the Cubans - flawlessly constructed, using some of the finest tobaccos in the world.

The wrapper is an extra-fermented, darker Connecticut Shade which conceals a blend of Dominican Cuban-seed ligeros that have been aged for 8 long years. What is intriguing is the binder, which is African Cameroon. There's a Cubanesque spiciness from the beginning with an earthy and cedary character. There's a real toastiness and plenty of spice, but it's so remarkably smooth that you might not notice the body becoming fuller, and the strength will certainly creep up on you. Get them while you can.
